Madrid in fog this morning. Azca Business Centre, Tore Picasso.

Madrid in fog this morning. Azca Business Centre, Tore Picasso.
On my way to give an early morning class in Torre Picasso.
My students always comment on London fog. I explain that in my (exactly) 30 years living and working in London (from 05/11/1979 to 05/11/2009), I experienced thick fog ONCE. And that was on or around 15/11/1979 and that was so bad that I fell down a workman's trench in the road! I was unhurt but shaken! I got totally lost for three hours! I couldn't see one foot (30 centimetres) in front of me. But that was the ONLY TIME in 30 years!
In Madrid, However, I have been caught in thick fog at least a dozen times in the 9 years I have been here (since 05/11 2010).
My students simply don't believe me. For them, London = fog.
Guy Fawkes night, November 5th; it has always been a significant date in the calendar for me!

Wow - now that IS thick fog. I lived and worked in London for a few years back in the 60's and I never saw fog at all. They have all seen the pictures of pre-war London, when there used to be a lot of fog.

It's the Hollywood effect. London just had to be portrayed in a thick pea-souper!
